San Juan Nightlife

Nightlife

Don’t even think about going dancing before 10pm—most clubs don’t heat up until midnight. Although popular venues can be found in the Isla Verde resorts and in Santurce, Calle San Sebastián, in Old San Juan, is hands-down the city’s nightlife capital. The legal drinking age in Puerto Rico is 18.

Smart Splurge    Great Value
Rumba
Local 20-somethings practice their salsa moves to the grooves of live Afro-Cuban bands in a warmly lit, albeit sparsely decorated, space. Even the dance-shy will enjoy watching from the sidelines.
